Whomp Stomp is a boss minigame in Mario Party 9. It is the mid-boss battle in Bob-omb Factory in Solo Mode.

Introduction

The players land on their platforms and then turn to face another platform. Whomp drops down onto that platform and startles the player in front of him (the most common being the fourth player).

Gameplay

Each player chooses whether or not to turn the platform (represented by 0 or 1). After the players have made their selections, each player who chose "1" steps forward and pulls a switch, and the platforms rotate once per switch pulled (indicated by the number displayed in the center). Whomp then falls onto the player in front of him, making them lose a point (unless that player has no points). The other players jump on Whomp's back and deliver as many ground pounds as they can, earning three points for each ground pound. After a set time, Whomp rises back up, the players resume their positions, and the process repeats.

When Whomp is down to half of his health, he gets angry and stomps his foot. For the rest of the battle, he stomps on the counter every round, adding either one or two rotations to it before the players have made their selections. As usual, the player who lands the final attack earns an additional three points, and the player with the most points wins the minigame. If the players are unable to defeat within five minutes, Whomp the minigame ends in a draw.

Ending

Whomp is shown lying flat on the ground. He gives out one last grunt of defeat and explodes into small pieces, releasing several Mini Stars in Party Mode and Solo Mode.

Trivia

  • This is one of three boss minigames in Mario Party 9 where at least one player character is bound to get hurt, the other two being Spike Strike and Chain Chomp Romp, since Whomp always attacks the character in front of him.
